Although she is best known for her role as Sandy in the blockbuster musical “Grease,” Olivia Newton-John, who died at the age of 73 on Monday, had a career that extended far beyond the dramas of Rydell High and Danny Zuko.
in England in 1948, Newton-John moved to Australia at the age of 5, and she first began performing on Australian TV shows as a teenager. Her first single was released in 1966, but she only began gaining popularity in 1973 -- when her hit “Let Me Be There” soared to the top of both country and adult contemporary charts and won a Grammy.
Her 1981 hit “Physical” carried lyrics loaded with sexual innuendo that caused her music to be banned on numerous radio stations, according to Billboard.
